Changing classes or jobs in a sanctuary will no longer incur a penalty to action cooldowns.

One of the best QoL changes. No more porting to Ul'dah, LL, Grid or housing because I need to switch jobs for Coil.

Better yet...

A confirmation window will now be displayed when summoning a chocobo companion while registered for duties via the Duty Finder.

Broken English there, but that sounds like you'll be able to register and queue for duties with your chocobo out.

Jumped the gun, just a window that alerts you that you're about to break queue by summoning your chocobo.

Considering it was listed in the duty autotranslate list LOL

Also note that the new Trial has a pre-req quest from the end of the MSQ. And also earns you the achievement "Secret Ascian Man."

I sense an 8-man Ascian fight in the Void in front of the statue of Zodiark. <_< >_>

Hard to tell whether the Miqo'te or the Highlander is the BRD.

My personal opinion about these gear is that they seem to be a bit too similar to 2.4 gears and seem extremely lazy. NIN/MNK above looks same and if Roe's outfit is BRD or DRG... that's a bit of disappointing too. They just seem color changed and nothing really different. Likewise for the casters in the middle.Â

I hope crafting gears will make up the designs at least. (and is that a bucket helmet for the tank?)

I don't think it's so much as a lazy similarity than it is just them sticking to a job aesthetic. In fact, it's pretty sweet that they let us get the gear from those Qarn guys, in addition to giving us those sweet MNK/DRG/NIN sets. For dungeon gearÂ it looks great! I'm so used to getting stupid looking clown-suits from dungeons in other games, I think this is a treasure.

It fits Eorzea well, and the characters look snazzy. I can't wait to collect my sets.

I'm very glad about this because I always forget.Â

SO EXCITED FOR THIS PATCH.

Giving us the Qarn gear is sweet, but I'm in agreement with Aldotsk that creating one set ofÂ models for a single gear set and then simply recoloring that setÂ to come up with two more (and recoloring old headgear pieces to include in the new sets to make themÂ "different") is the definition of lazy.

Job aesthetic? What job aesthetic? All three feature the same unbuttoned/unfastened shirt, same gloves, same pants, same boots. There's nothing in there that screams "MONK!" or "DRAGOON!" or "NINJA!" to me. The only reason we even have reasonable guesses as to which is which is because the headgear differs (eyepatches are the usual headgear for monks in XIV, masks for dragoons).

They're cutting corners so that their costs in pumping out new assets don't climb higher than they can afford. No need to be an apologist about it. It's just the way it is.

To be fair...
They created a unique set for each DPS class in World of Darkness.

We're lucky we're getting actual dungeon gear at all. Even if it is just recolored. They could've given us more crafting mats...

Outside of PVP/AF, Tanks never get unique sets, even recolored ones. Don't wanna hear no griping from the DPS gallery!

Kage · **01-16-2015, 03:55 PM**

It's almost as if they changed it up for WoD.

We've always had recolors.
Sets for monk and dragoon (Hussar and fistfighter) (halatali hm and bray hm)
Bard and monk. Healer and caster ish (hull breaker set)
Then we went to the antique shit -_-

Er. I'm not quite sure where the whole apologist thing comes in, but what I stated was my opinion on the dungeon sets. As for the lazy thing? When these guys pump out patches every three months with stuff inbetween, it doesn't come to mind, simple as that.Â

Personally, I like that the melee jobs have a matching theme differentiated by the headpieces, as well as the casters, it seems! The bards usually have a gaudier feel to them too -- though this time it seems different. I'm guessing that the feathery hatty thing is bard-san. That's just something that pleases me.

Perhaps I'm simple like that! I don't know, I'm one of those easy to please people who get excited and enjoy the hell out of new stuff, however simple. Either way, I don't too much appreciate the accusation that I'm being an apologist. That's...not quite necessary.Â

I'm just enjoying what they've put out, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Opinions abound about how people don't like what, I'd not like any bad light cast upon my own little view that I like it.

Aldotsk · **01-16-2015, 03:59 PM**

And then there is Ironworks Augmented gears that could be dyed, but no one can barely get them since the item you need only drops from FCOB.

OTL

At least I wish they'll allow you to wear Hussar's/Fistfighter's glamours as Paladin as long as you unlocked lvl 50 and equip LNC/DRG or PUG/MNK.

...and dyeable too.

I'm sure WoD will start dropping Carbontwine in 2.55 just like ST started dropping SCOB-only items in 2.35. SE isn't denying anyone gear progression, they're simply allowing the people who've put forth the effort to push content to be rewarded for pushing said content and getting their i130 gear a couple months before everyone else gets their i130 gear.

I don't think Melkire deliberately tried to call you that, but I do agree with some part in what you said, Berrod. As long as you are okay with what they give, you the more power you have of course.

I am just that person who is very nitpicky in every outfit I wear, and I have no room in my Armory Chest space since there are too many clothes to wear like a Barbie. But regardless, there were like 4-6 outfits that I wanted them to release it as dyeable and craftable and yet glamourable for all classes as a social outfit.

Kage · **01-16-2015, 04:06 PM**

The item to upgrade/get augments will be in WoD. Whether we are getting the whole Sha bang (equipment and weapon upgrade item) on Tuesday is up in the air.

It's just a matter of when. 2.5? 2.51? 2.55?

Also
"The Search Results window will no longer close when making a purchase via the Market Board."
Holy shit yes.
